What's a "Muslim Habesha" ? How does that even apply here?

Abysinnian call everything Habesha

The moon is Habesha

Meanwhile back reality the Abysinnians were Islamophobic historically & Muslims in Ethiopia have been second class citizens

There's no such thing as a "Muslim Habesha"

The whole controversial Habesha term with dubious folklore to the Mideast & Solomonic royalty was fabricated by Christian Abysinnians from the Orthodox church not Muslims

Ethnically it is associated wuth Amhara,Tigrinya & Tigrayans
From this I observed there are two types of Tigrayans

There are the Tigrayan who are de-Abysinnianized & critically starting to see themselves as separate from the political identity of Ethiopia or "Habesha"

The second ones still Abysinnianized & hardcore "Habesha" #Tigray
This thread tend to resonate more with independent scholars & historians with decolonization perspective & obviously pro Menelik troll accounts were triggered

Habesha was stolen & co-opted 'identity" from Yemen according to the Abysinnian applied to Orthodox Christians only
